Young Harris, Georgia
Young Harris, GA sits in the most enchanted valley in North
Georgia. One of the most beautiful sites in the state is when
you drive over the hill coming from Hiawassee and see the
valley below. For years Young Harris was known only for Young
Harris College, but in the last decade has gained notoriety
as a relaxing golf destination due to the success of the Brasstown
Valley Resort.
The town of Young Harris, Georgia is named after the college
and owes almost all of its success to the school. The small
town is now threatened by development which threatens to destroy
the beautiful mountains surrounding the valley. Hopefully
those that love the valley will step up to protect what is
left. It would be sad to see the valley destroyed with excessive
neighborhoods.
Young Harris College
Young Harris College is a small two year
college focusing mostly on liberal arts studies. For over
a century Young Harris College has attracted many future leaders,
entertainers, artist, and business leaders. Some of the notables
include Zell Miller, Oliver Hardy, country music singer Trisha
Yearwood, and Internet entrepreneurs Scott Thompson and Tim
Enloe.
